Rohit Sharma and Mohammed Shami apparently had a heated exchange in Bengaluru During the post-match press conference following India's 10-wicket loss to Australia, captain Rohit Sharma, when asked to share an update on Mohammed Shami, said the 'door is very much open' for Shami: "We are just monitoring him because while playing Syed Mushtaq Ali, he got some swelling in his knee, which hampers his preparation to come and play a Test match. The report claims Rohit and Shami met after New Zealand beat India in the first Test, but had a conversation that was anything but smooth. During their meeting, the two had a heated exchange over the captain's remark on Shami when asked about his current status and availability for the New Zealand and Australia Test series," Jagran quoted a source as saying.
